Whether you are heading into a national forest for a long weekend or chasing a remote overlanding route, you can trust that the ABS shell will protect you in wind, rain, and cold. The all-inclusive package means no last-minute hardware runs - everything from mounting brackets to a patch kit is in the box. Adventurers who drive smaller SUVs and crossovers will especially appreciate the compact closed footprint, which keeps your center of gravity low and your fuel economy reasonable. Thousands of overlanders have made the Alpha II their go-to shelter on the road, and once you wake up elevated above the terrain with the skylight cracked and the LED lights glowing, it is easy to understand why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSleeping Capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Person\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOpen Dimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59.75 x 79 x 46 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClosed Dimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59.75 x 49.75 x 14 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMattress Size (L x W x H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53 x 78 x 2.36 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e141 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight Capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e800 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShell Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTent Fabric\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e280G Poly\/Cotton Rip-Stop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRainfly Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e210D Polyester\/Oxford PU Coated 5000mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFloor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeavy-duty aluminum honeycomb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eZippers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYKK with custom para-cord pulls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLED Light\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmber and White (interior and exterior)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWindows\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 openings with mesh screens and window rods\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSkylight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMesh and solid panel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWindow Awnings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 removable zip-off rain awnings (included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLadder\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTelescoping 7.5 ft. with angled steps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMounting Hardware\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel; fits crossbars up to 3.25 inches wide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSecurity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel cable locks with 2 pairs of keys\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOpening Side\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePassenger side only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRequired Crossbar Spacing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum 30 inches apart; must support 190+ lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembly Required\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes - minimum 2 people required for mounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShipping Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLTL Truck Freight on a pallet; delivery by appointment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eManuals \u0026amp; Guides\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1724\/7681\/files\/TUFF_STUFF_ALPHA_TENT_MANUAL_56aca788-7239-49f6-8342-e93633b3c981.pdf?v=1784152351\" title=\"Alpha II Installation \u0026amp; Owner's Manual\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAlpha II Installation \u0026amp; Owner's Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill the Alpha II fit my vehicle?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eRooftop tents are not vehicle-specific - compatibility depends on your roof rack, not the vehicle itself.
